Do you feel people use the word "Hate" a lot?
I've been thinking about this a lot and have come to realize that I have been guilty of using this word loosely. While I don't see anything wrong with using it to refer to food, clothing, train hikes, shoes, etc I do think it's a very strong word to use when referring to people and will think twice when using it.
Although the defenition of the word is to dislike intensely or passionately; feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward; detest I've noticed it being used A LOT especially when referring to celebrities. How can people can use the word hate with someone they don't know personally and have only read about?
Any thoughts?

I agree.
I also think the word "love" is used too loosely as well.

I think this topic has been brought up on the boards before ... personally, I don't see the word HATE as such a big deal ... especially when I use it on the Celeb Board about people I don't know and will never meet - Yes, I do intensely dislike and have an extreme aversion to Vanessa Minnillo!!

my thoughts exactly.
a lot of people say "love ya"... like the "ya" part somehow lessens the degree of love

I definitely agree that love and hate are highly over used. I tell my students that all the time and encourage them to use other words.

Re: Do you feel people use the word "Hate" a lot?
I hate when people use the word "hate".... 
In current vernacular, "hate" and "love" have lost their original intensity. Both words are now synonymous with "like" and "dislike".
